Spiced rum. Off-key singing. And one guy&#8217;s crazy new roommate. <\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I (doorknob) committed ritual seppuku by throwing myself down onto the bathroom floor and shattering into a bazillion little tiny pieces. I just couldn&#8217;t take a life of being constantly screwed back together only to come apart in some poor schlub&#8217;s hand, trapping them in the bathroom. Constantly trapping people in the bathroom.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s been one crazy weekend around these parts!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
